Film by
CHARLES-ANDRÉ CODERRE and YANN-MANUEL HERNANDEZ


2016 | 93 minutes | Canada

A man decides to lose himself in the Death Valley desert. While on his journey, he encounters a woman who accompanies him on his quest. As they embark deeper into the desert, heat and fever push them to extreme, psychological limits.

Charles-André Coderre lives and works in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. He makes films and works on 16mm live projections for several film and music performances. His films are distributed by Light Cone (Paris), CFMDC (Toronto) and Vidéographe (Montréal). Since 2017, he co-organizes the OK LÀ! music & expanded cinema series in Verdun (Canada).

Yann-Manuel Hernandez is a Montreal-based independent cinematographer / director / producer known for Déserts (2016), Les évaporés (2019), Jungle (2022) and several music videos for artists such as Plants and Animals, SUUNS, Carla Blanc and others. His work deals with identity, the blending of fiction and reality – what remains caught between memory and dream.
